Two copies of the Antares?

I think I'll be playing more with the QF again and maybe downloading the PSP demo again...

Thanks for the info!

Will there be a step sequencerish kind of thing, too? If so, can i trade in my AF for QF hrhrhrh....

Gah, there is much better ta step sequencing since the beginning actually. You can use a Midi part to drive the filter - note only with note on events, but also note off, take advantage of the velocity, of the note to drive any parameter in the QF, from filter cutoff to reso, gain for gate effect, pan for stero frenzy... etc. See this a step sequencer +++ where you can copy and paste things, use long part. Also if you have a monophonic lead, it's a very convenient way to immediately boost it's filter.

Note that AF also provide this feature (another thing copyed from QF...). The thing is that it NEEDS the step sequencer right in front of your eyes because else, as it can't generate note events out of the signal (one _key_ feature missing...) so all those ADSR wouldn't be able to do anything without the step sequencer. Funnily, the step sequencer ends up being really a toy compared to midi input, even on AF...

To DevonB : did you try the classic skins as well ?

Oh yes, didn't even bother with the 'other' one.

I remember feeling the controls were too small, and too much was jammed into one interface. I felt the same way about AF as well though. Just something about Nitro's layout that was more comfortable to me, which is probably deeply rooted in my hardware background.

It's been quite awhile since I've touched it though.

Pretty much, it's always seemed OhmForce was for the extremes, and while I can find use in the extremes sometimes, I couldn't justify the price for something I wouldn't use all the time either. I've certainly recommended Ohmies stuff to others who are more into the extremes though.

i think that there is at least one thing extreme about all the ohmforce plugins...

they have found a way to make LFO and ADSR management EXTREMELY simple, intuitive, and sensible, and allowing for an LFO on basically everything without any screen clutter.

this system is EXTREME in it's pure brilliance. I don't know if they have patented it, but they should. In my opinion it is simply that powerful and unique.

If they don't have a patent on it, i'm surprised that other dev's don't adopt a similar system, because it's the SMARTEST THING EVER

I think that it is EXTREMEly smart

thanks Ohm Force!

have you tried

andrew71 · Post by **andrew71** » Wed Jul 21, 2004 4:27 pm

I've gone for the Quad...hang the expense!

Probably the biggest contribution to my decision was Red's posts to this thread, especially the information about midi input to the plugin.

Yeaaaaah !
I consider some ohmies should pay me a beer for that.

The reason I think Ohm plugs are INDISPENSIBLE in everyones toolkit, is that they do the extremes so well.

90% of plugs I use, freeware or demos, I'm usually always wanting to push it further. Yeah, this phaser is nice, but I want it to go so hardcore, I'd be wondering what kind of sick person would actually use this in a song. Ohm does this perfectly, I love the fact that these plugs can be pushed further than I'd ever want them to go.

I recently did the COHMpletion offer, and I couldn't be happier

Hmmmm - maybe it's the inertia. QF definitely feels like a filterbox where the knobs are still new and have still got quite a bit of grip. I suppose because I've always been buying vintage and s/h gear I am used to a more worn in model

I would definitely pay for a QF hardcore version. And If you're looking for any further filter types to round out QFHC might I suggest a peak at the Xpander

what are there copy protection schemes?

I really don't like challenge and response stuff.

if I have to choose between those, I might
choose one with easiest copy protection scheme.

anyone knows what they use?

Sadly my purchase of the QF went wrong last night. Credit card was charged but something went amiss from the server. I had an email from the Ohmies saying there was a problem and that they'll be back in contact today to sort things out...

Filerbank: Quad-Frohmage or Antares Filer?
